[…] may recall the same company published a similar magazine/figurine for Firestorm last year. I was really impressed with Firestorm, so I look forward to this Deathstorm […]

Even with the lead, I think I have to have it. Just won’t keep it in the same house with my kids. Might replace the Hulk bobblehead I have at work, or at least accompany it. =)

if you get the lead figurine anywhere near your house your entire family will die an agonizing death

They should have put that on a sticker on the package. I spent a whole day rubbing my Aquaman lead figure all over my house and family!

The whole package looks as good as I was hoping (actually, better). Mine will hopefully arrive from the UK later this week.

See, this kind of pisses me off. Firestorm gets an awesome old school cover and recolored art that spans his entire history. Martian Manhunter gets the umpteenth reuse of the relatively recent Alex Ross poster and intense coverage of the 1998 series up (with brief nods to JLofA & JLI.) Firestorm's lead figure is characteristically cheerful and in a natural, triumphant stance. Martian Manhunter's lead figure is in a crappy awkward Superman style chest-thrust/fists-on-hips pose with funky legs and an entirely too prominent Manpackage from Mars. Firestorm has his great... rogues... um... But Firestorm's classic stories are... er... right. I guess you win some, you lose some. At least both of "Manhunter's Classic Storylines" actually starred J'Onn J'Onzz and were really good, plus his "Allies & Enemies" were decent.

Thanks for the look inside the magazine. I didn’t realize that the layout was going to be as sharp as it is. I’d always assumed that, since the figure was the main draw, the magazine would probably be super-ghetto.

Thanks for the comments!

Outburst – I’ve got two small kids. I’d love to get them little Firestorm figurines (they have action figures already), but the lead makes it a no-go issue. That’s all. Also the package has a HUGE warning about cancer and lead that will scare you silly.

Got this one and the Cyborg one waiting for me at the LCS. Stupid ol’ Tuesday is in the way between me and Wednesday right now though. . .

Nice coverage Shag!

Looks good. I’ve never seen this collection before, but think I’ll try to grab this one.
Just curious, what are your concerns about the lead? I know lead sets off fire alarms for kids toys but I figure this is more like a mini-statue and not to be played with. If I pick this up, it will probably sit right on top of my desk at work.
